Game Rules 1
Suggested age: 8 years old and up. Number of players: 1 to 5. Playing time: 20 min.
Idea of the Game
Bubble Tea is a table game which improves your quickness and reaction time. In Bubble Tea, players have to roll 6 dice by the real shaker and use 9 plastic cards to match the pictures shown on the dice. The player who finds the correct combination first gets a Customer Card. Whoever gets 3 Customer Cards in the end wins the game and becomes the master of BUBBLE TEA!
Game Set-up
- Each player has 2 Tea Base Cards and one set of Moji Moji Cards (No.1 to No.9). Put the Moji Moji Cards close to the Tea Base Cards.
- Shuffle all Customer Cards.
- Put all the dice into the shaker. The player who has recently drunk bubble tea holds the shaker.
Game Sequence
1. Shake Your Order
- The player who holds the shaker rolls the dice by the shaker.
- The Moji Moji shown on the dice = the customer's order.
- After opening the lid and turning the bottle upside down, all players say "123 GO!" and the game starts.
2. Mix the Drink
- All players simultaneously try to find the legal combination by using Moji Moji Cards.
- The order players have done should be put on Tea Base Cards. Whoever finishes the order wins a Customer Card.
- Moji Moji Cards are allowed to spin and cover on Tea Base Cards. However, Moji Moji can't be out of Tea Base Cards.
3. Finish the Drink
- Whoever finishes the drink first covers the dice with the lid. All players stop the action and wait for the order to be checked.
4. Check Your Order
- Open the lid and check all players' combinations.
- Correct: The player who finds the correct combination wins a Customer Card.
- Wrong: The player who finds the wrong combination loses a Customer Card and removes it from the game. If the player doesn't have any Customer Card, the player loses nothing.
- Others can keep working until someone finishes the order.
- All players move to the next round when two players get it wrong, then remove the Customer Card from the game.
New Round
- The player who got a Customer Card last round holds the shaker and the dice.
Game End
- The player who gets 3 Customer Cards wins the game.
Game Rules 2
Suggested age: 8 years old and up. Number of players: 1 to 5. Playing time: 20 min.
Idea of the Game
In this mode, all players score without dice. The number on a Customer Card (1 to 5) is equal to the difficulty. Each player chooses a Customer Card from their hand at random and finds the combination from the Moji Moji side as soon as possible.
Game Set-up
- Each player has 2 Tea Base Cards and one set of Moji Moji Cards (No.1 to No.9). Put the Moji Moji Cards close to the Tea Base Cards.
- Put the shaker in the middle of the table with the dice.
- Deal 5 Customer Cards to each player at random.
Game Sequence
1. Order a Drink
- To start a round, all players simultaneously choose any 1 Customer Card from their hands that they would like to keep, and place it face-down in front of them.
- Everyone reveals their chosen cards (flips them to the Moji Moji side).
- When all players are ready, say "123 GO!" and the game starts.
2. Mix Your Own Bubble Tea
- All players simultaneously choose a Customer Card and try to match the Customer Card by using Moji Moji Cards (same as Rule 1).
3. Finish the Drink: Grab the Shaker
- The player who has finished the order first grabs the shaker. All players stop the action.
4. Check Your Order
There are two situations when players finish their combinations:
- Correct: Flip to the customer side and score the number shown on the Customer Card you chose.
- Wrong: The player who finds the wrong combination removes the Customer Card from the game. Others can keep working until someone finishes the order. All players move to a new round.
New Round
- All players put Moji Moji Cards around the Tea Base Cards.
- Pass your remaining hand face-down to the player on your left. Everyone picks up their new hands and the next turn begins.
Game End
- The game is set when players finish 5 rounds.
- The player with the most points wins the game. If tied, these tied players rejoice the victory.
Game Rules 3

Game Set-up
- Put 45 Customer Cards face-up on the table (without the blank Customer Card).
Game Sequence

- For children, it's available to change the Tourism Terms to a description (e.g. there's a customer wearing a hat and holding a cat).
2. Slap the Card
- Others have to find the exact Customer Card on the table and slap it as soon as possible while the player is reading out the card they chose.
- Slap the right card: Get the card as one point.
- Slap the wrong card: Get the card and flip it as minus one point (-1 Point).
Game End
